So this morning I decided to call up the dental schools I've applied to just to be sure that my files are complete (I know I'm so anal sometimes)
Howard- packet being forwarded to the adcoms
Kentucky-complete and under review
Louisville-ditto
Meharry-interview in 2010
And then there's good ol' UAB..my alma mater two times over....as soon as the lady on the phone got to my file she asked "When are you retaking the DAT?" Immediately I'm panicking...basically that lets me know that I need to retake this dreaded test that caused sooooooooooo much stress in my life..again. I was so relieved the last time but my score isn't up to par with what they're looking for. I need two more points and now it's decision time. Do I spend another $205 bucks and retake this damned test or do I hold off and pray that I can get in with the score that I have now?????????????? Ugh I'm so frustrated and don't know what to do. I'm leaning towards taking it again. I don't really want to put myself through this hell again BUT this is my dream and I've got to do all that I can to get there. And I know that it will be well worth it in the end when I am getting my white coat next fall. I don' think I'm going to tell anyone but my mom that I'm retaking it and just prepare and do it.....We'll see how this goes. Please pray for me..b/c I am definately going to need it!!!
future plans,
